Evidence
  1. 1. Evidence checked 2026-08-28: Claude Code automatically presents MCP elicitation requests and supports both structured form mode and URL mode, with an optional Elicitation hook for automated responses.
  2. 2. Evidence checked 2026-08-28: Gemini CLI v0.57.0's MCP client registers only the roots client capability and contains no elicitation request handler, so it does not advertise the classic `elicitation/create` capability.
  3. 3. Evidence checked 2026-08-28: Cursor's protocol capability table explicitly lists MCP Elicitation as supported server-initiated requests for additional user information.
